They will fit up with the older stuff. But, there are minor differences, in things like the gas filler areas, and tailgates for instance. As you mentioned, bolt the older fenders and hood on to keep it looking the same up front. Yes, they do use different hinges. And GOOD LUCK with the project. Sounds like a great reason behind it.
